Foot sensor for health, fitness, immersive gaming

Boogio detects up to 65,000 points of pressure via  sensor layers that clip into shoes, plus and accelerometer and Bluetooth LE radio to communicate with a user’s phone.  It detects body weight, gravitational force exerted, balance, and pressure along the feet to determine if a user is leaning.  

Applications include monitoring injury recovery, the gamification of fitness, and immersive gaming.  Boogio can pair with the Oculus Rift to detect movement in 3D space and translate it into a virtual world, and also be used with Google Glass and Pebble.
